JOHN 3.16-3.17

[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, quiet organ hum] Light spills through a dusty door Hope waits on a wooden floor [Verse 1 – tender piano, subtle bass line] For God so loved the broken world He gave His only precious pearl That whoever trusts in His great name Would never die but live again [Pre-Chorus – building string layers, rising vocal melody] Not to condemn the ones who stray But to lead them to the light each day A love that’s deeper than the sea A grace that sets the captives free [Chorus 1 – full gospel choir harmonies, swelling strings] For God so loved, He gave His best A perfect gift to end all stress A way back home for every soul To make us whole and make us bold [Interlude – piano solo, gentle string accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – warm piano, soft shaker rhythm] The world was lost in shadows deep A bitter cold that wouldn’t sleep But God sent down His only Son To be the bridge where hope is won [Pre-Chorus 2 – intensified choir, building organ] He came not to judge the wrong or right But to shine a light through endless night A love that never fades away A promise that will always stay [Chorus 2 – full band, soaring lead vocals, choir crescendo] For God so loved, He gave His all To break the chains and end the fall A home prepared for those who believe A love that lasts beyond the eve [Bridge – stripped back piano, intimate vocal delivery] No matter how far you have gone His love will lead you safely home A hand to hold when you are weak A voice to speak when you can’t speak [Final Chorus – full gospel ensemble, maximum intensity] For God so loved, He gave His own To make His mercy widely known A life restored, a heart made new His love for me, His love for you [Outro – fading piano, quiet choir hum] His love remains, forever true All for me, all for you
